Being rich and being so damned stingy!! part 1

Mom and I went to visit kak Rose yesterday. She had given birth to a baby girl, Shira, her second child. The first child, Nurul was admitted to the hospital 10 days ago due to severe dengue fever. Kak Rose is my mom's adopted daughter, not legally though. My parents met her husband in Syria years ago, a student studying Islamic law there. They "adopted" him but now he's in Malaysia working with Baba.
Judd, my nephew, was born 15 days after Shira. Seeing Shira's poor condition, I felt sorry for her. She had skin problem visible on her head and face, suffering from eczema. And she had some sort of boil or *abscess on her right chest (*got this word from dictionary, sorry if I use it wrongly, what a damned poor english major!!). Mom brought her to Damai specialist centre, she was diagnosed to have quite a serious abscess, and it might inflict some damage to that part of the body so they have to remove it. She's scheduled to undergo the surgery today, mom took up the payment, because to her, Shira is also her grandchild, what she would do for Judd, she'd do the same for Shira...mmm...I love my Mom!! Before we left for Damai S.C. Mom asked kak Rose to "wrap" Shira in a flannel, she didn't even have one...and the baby was wearing the sister's clothes. Comparing Shira to Judd, herm...life is sooo unfair!! Judd was born into this world with a golden spoon, being adored and loved and being surrounded with wealth - oklah, we're from the middle working class, we're not a part of those filthy rich high class people. But still, we want the best for Judd and we can afford to provide it to a certain extent. And this poor little Shira, it breaks my heart seeing her condition, and her parents and her big sister. I know there are ups and downs in life. I also remember walking into a stationery shop with my dad and not having enough money to buy a box of pencils...but that was in the past. Life gets better after that, I mean, MY life gets better after that. I know how it feels when you can't afford things that you need, don't mention about the unnecessary desires and wants...you could only dream about it...
